Red paint was splattered in front of the Russian Embassy in Sofia. A video posted on the Facebook page of "BOEC" shows activists of the civil movement unloading paint buckets from a vehicle and spilling the paint in front of the embassy building. They are waving the Ukrainian flag and holding a banner that reads "Glory to Ukraine. Putin is a terrorist", while a man speaks in both Bulgarian and English against the war in Ukraine.

Participants in the action told the security that this is an art installation on the occasion of the third anniversary of the war in Ukraine, which will be marked on February 24, 2025. The paint has already been cleaned up, reported a BNR correspondent.
